About crashes: I had a problem in my Dwarf Fortress Complete mod with a ghost. It crashed the game. A simple creature. I had other similar creatures but they didn't crash and there was nothing special about him. I've put it in a bug thread and Toady couldn't find an answer, so it was lost in time.

What I am trying to say: DF can be crashed by ANYTHING with no apparent reason. Only step-by-step tests may reveal the problem.

You might want to add [FIREIMMUNE] to that, as [FIREIMMUNE_SUPER] makes them think they're magma proof, and they'll run straight for lava. You also might want to add [MULTIPLE_LITTER:RARE] to them, to avoid setting the world on fire constantly.

Perhaps a goblin deity would suffice?

Something with a serious damage block, 10 maybe?, but more importantly, SPEED:1. give it building destroyer and trapavoid and it is ~almost~ unstoppable.

[DAMBLOCK] isnt always effective; for kicks, i once gave something like 1000000 damblock to dwarves. They got torn apart by batmen.

That's probably because 65535 is the highest number which can be represented by an unsigned 16 bit binary number. Therefore, variables over 65535 will probably not be recognised in the raws.

Hmm, forgot about that. Stupid binary. And i exaggerated, looking back, it was 10,000. Still got killed in like 2 hits.

Actually, it would turn to a negative number.

So your dwarves had -45000 damblock.

If it hasn't been mentioned, those corpses that explode into burning and freezing gases simultaneously. Also, everything is a Elepant-spirit of fire-carp-unicorn hybrid. That flies.

Alright, I looked at the Plant file and made the growth for all underground plants 800, and decreased the clustersize of every plant to 1. That should throw a wrench into the whole food scenario.

Well, clustersize only affects the number of plants you get from trading and gather from herbalism. The number you harvest when farming is hardcoded.

I think it's a vastly amusing thought that elephants are so afraid of heights that when Dwarves invented the Z-axis, they couldn't bear to face dwarves in combat anymore.

Anyway, I still hate farming. With burning passion. Can I make it so that dwarves still have plants on embark, but the player can't grow subterranean plants?
